It seems entirely reasonable to me that cpack_add_component and cpack_add_component_group would add install targets install-<componentname> and install-<componentgroupname> to makefile targets, which just perform the appropriate cmake -DCOMPONENT=<componentname> -P cmake_install.cmake actions. It means that cpack_add_* is somewhat of a misnomer (CPack doesn't even come into play with the install targets in the makefile), but I think it's useful behavior. Bonus points if you make targets like "install-help" and "install-help-<componentname>" provide useful documentation. - Doug _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
